I wear many hats; blue, red, green, yellow, purple, brown… those "blank" spaces- they aren't really empty- as in "free time". I just don't have colors for my "do homework" hat or "make breakfast" & "make dinner" hats, or my "talk-about-how-their-day went-with my-children" hat… they get done without appointments.
Friday, January 10 (not shown in pic above), was my first day as an intern. Mostly, the day was spent getting ready for the week ahead. TRUST has pamphlets and "white papers" and informational materials from various organizations as well as some created in-house for distribution. I organized materials for use at upcoming events; studied current research on demand reduction and legislation; and got debriefed on where I needed to be and when in the following week (pictured above).
My "purple hat" is TRUST work. As you can see, I wore my purple hat frequently that week. The events and meetings I attended included the Clear Channel Press Conference (look for that in the next blog update- so exciting!), Governor Brewer's State of the State address (okay, I didn't attend, but I streamed it online), Child Sexual Abuse Prevention meeting at Phoenix Children's Hospital, a presentation from Attorneys successfully prosecuting Backpage, and the Valley Interfaith Project (VIP) Conference (re: sex trafficking) on Thursday and Saturday. And, I worked at the TRUST office on Friday.
My day in the office on Friday included the following: wrote two executive summaries about events from the week, gathered information and data regarding National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) Hotline use in Arizona in preparation for a more thorough report, went down to the Mayor's office to deliver some educational materials re: domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST), read research (done through ASU STIR) on demand reduction, and did some follow-up work from the conference I attended. There were a few other things, but this gives a good overview.
